If the HA scheme is built on top of bonding, that is, its an IB native file/block ULP which uses the RDMA-CM or one that runs on top of IPoIB, then the active-backup mode of the bonding driver will not allow each initiator to fail-over independently. For now, this is the only mode supported for bonding/ipoib.
